SKIP to the 12:00 MINUTE MARK to the 14:20 point in the video, Stephen Mark Ryan explains Life Style Inflation or Life Style Creep and how he has avoided it, by “paying himself first” and keeping his expenses at zero, or close to zero (AKA “Extreme LBYM”).
“Staying broke is an excellent way to create wealth.”

BTW. Skip back from the 12 minute mark, to the 6:50 mark to the 7:40, where he describes HIS choices for “staying broke to build wealth”.
